minutes before trying to heat.

5-3. Automatic Shutdown Protection

This unit automatically shuts down upon sensing certain fault conditions, such as an out-of-range frequency condition,

short circuit load condition, or an open circuit (no load) condition. The unit also has automatic voltage limiting and

power ratio limiting, which limits the output power based on improper load impedance.
